00:00:03Breaking news, Harper Enterprise is under a coordinated short attack.
00:00:08In the past hour alone, the conglomerate has lost over a billion dollars in our situation.
00:00:23I need you to buy the stock, alright?
00:00:25We gotta do this now!
00:00:28This isn't some random dip. Whoever's shorting us came prepared.
00:00:31They're tearing us apart.
00:00:32We can't hold the line.
00:00:33We're about to become the laughingstock of Wall Street.
00:00:36No! No! We're not finished!
00:00:38We still have an ace in the hole.
00:00:43The boundaries between the universes are coming undone.
00:00:48Julia, we need you! Again!
00:00:51Shit! Shit!
00:00:55Give me a sec.
00:01:01Hey, Mr. Griffin, how you doing?
00:01:03Good, good, yeah.
00:01:05I just need to ask for a little favor.
00:01:12Julia, you saved my ass last time. I owe you.
00:01:15I'm moving liquidity to Harper now.
00:01:19Right.
00:01:24The stock price is recovering!
00:01:26How is that possible?
00:01:27Did Mr. Clark just fix this with a few calls?
00:01:30Julia, what would Harper do without you?
00:01:34Julia, Damien's assistant called.
00:01:36Called in all hands.
00:01:37All department leads.
00:01:38Conference room in 10 minutes.
00:01:40Chairman's orders.
00:01:41Why would Damien call in the meeting?
00:01:43He despises you.
00:01:46Watch your back.
00:02:14Today, Damien successfully neutralized the short attack against Harper and helped push our stock back up.
00:02:21Let's thank him for his outstanding contribution.
00:02:29Since when does Damien own house of takeover from a hole in the ground?
00:02:32He must have stole this win from someone else.
00:02:34Remember what he did to Anthony from investments?
00:02:37Damien took credit for his deal.
00:02:39Anthony pushed back and Damien used his pool of Serena to get him fired.
00:02:47Hello?
00:02:49Is there a problem?
00:02:51Because I'm pretty sure I saved all your asses from the fire.
00:02:54The least that every single one of you could do.
00:02:55Damien.
00:02:58Of course.
00:03:00Questions?
00:03:02I'd be happy to share my strategies to help save your livelihoods.
00:03:10Julian.
00:03:11The company just went through a crisis and you're up here gaming?
00:03:16Keep sharing. I'm listening.
00:03:21This conference room isn't your god damn gaming lounge!
00:03:25Wait, I'm sorry everyone.
00:03:27I forgot.
00:03:29You're just a resident good for nothing.
00:03:31My strategy is you probably couldn't comprehend them, let alone ask a decent god damn question.
00:03:39Well, since you're so keen on getting my contribution, let's start with a question.
00:03:44Which funds were behind the short attack?
00:03:46And what was their distinct objective?
00:03:48And what specifically was their entry strategy?
00:03:50Doesn't matter.
00:03:51What matters is that I stopped.
00:03:53You can't even name the enemy?
00:03:55Alright, fine. Next question.
00:03:57Which firms did you guys recruit as white knights?
00:04:00And what preferential terms did you promise them in exchange for the capital injection?
00:04:03Well...
00:04:05Well...
00:04:08Well...
00:04:08Well, you can't even name the basics.
00:04:11Alright.
00:04:12So you certainly have no idea how to stand up a cross-functional war room,
00:04:15the countermeasures for a potential proxy fight,
00:04:17or which SEC clauses could be used to threaten the attackers.
00:04:23Let's be real.
00:04:25You are nothing but a glory hound,
00:04:28who steals credit and bullies anyone who sees for real.
00:04:40You, a useless, game-addicted fucking loser, dare to question me?
00:04:44You know what, Clark?
00:04:46You're fucking fired!
00:04:48Now get your shit and get the fuck out now!
00:04:59You hear that, Dad?
00:05:01I guess the verdict is, get the fuck out.
00:05:06Understood.
00:05:07Now, the hearing's not enough.
00:05:08I want you to tell Grandpa to get me out of this company.
00:05:11Now.
00:05:15You took our family's market cap,
00:05:18and raised it to $3 trillion.
00:05:21You proved everything that needs to be proved.
00:05:24Now, time to think about your marriage.
00:05:27Harper's, uh, old friends, good staff, you know?
00:05:31Grandpa, I've never even met Serena Harper.
00:05:34What you're talking about is marrying me off to some stranger.
00:05:36Feelings could grow black.
00:05:38Our families go way back.
00:05:40Your marriage will definitely be a happy one.
00:05:43My life, my choice.
00:05:45Look, when it comes to choosing my partner,
00:05:46I want to make sure that-
00:05:47Enough!
00:05:48Oh, that's it.
00:05:49You're going to do this.
00:05:51I've already arranged everything.
00:05:52You're starting with the Harper Family Company today.
00:05:55Go work with Serena.
00:05:57And date her properly, hmm?
00:06:02You refuse.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Nurse, Dr. Ann, check it out.
00:06:07My own grandson won't listen.
00:06:09What's your point?
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10Let the heart attack take me now!
00:06:12Okay, alright.
00:06:12I'll go.
00:06:14I know what I'm asking.
00:06:17For years, you've carried this family on your bed.
00:06:21We have more now than we ever was.
00:06:23The Harper's never in trouble.
00:06:25We do not abandon our own.
00:06:29Use that brilliant head of yours.
00:06:32And help them.
00:06:33Please, for me.
00:06:36Fine.
00:06:37I'll do it.
00:06:39I hear you.
00:06:47For six months, Grandpa, I did what you asked, using every resource, every contact to help her.
00:06:53I pulled Harper Enterprise from the brink of bankruptcy and made it soar.
00:06:56I made Serena Harper the queen of this city's business world.
00:06:59And for what?
00:07:01So she could give my triumphs and victories to that sycophant Damien?
00:07:05It's time to come home.
00:07:12You asked for my opinion, and you couldn't handle it.
00:07:16So...
00:07:16Pathetic.
00:07:17I said you're fired.
00:07:18Get your shit and get the fuck out of my throat.
00:07:21I heard you.
00:07:22I'm waiting for my grandfather to give me the okay, and then I'm gone.
00:07:25I said no!
00:07:26Or I'm gonna call security and you can drag your ass out.
00:07:29Suit yourself.
00:07:31Julian, this is Harper Enterprise.
00:07:34Not your family's playground.
00:07:36Your grandfather has no authority here.
00:07:39You will leave.
00:07:40Now, do not disrupt this company any further.
00:07:43Serena, is that really the best play you want to make here?
00:07:46I will not repeat it.
00:07:47And do not force me to make a scene.
00:07:49You know what, Serena?
00:07:51Don't waste your breath on this piece of trash.
00:07:58You!
00:07:59Don't push your luck, Clark.
00:08:00The only reason why you got your foot in the goddamn door in the first place is because of your
00:08:04dusty fucking engagement to Serena.
00:08:06And you have the audacity to act all high and mighty?
00:08:09You're fucking nothing.
00:08:10You're a little trust-fun, entitled piece of shit baby.
00:08:14I mean, even your fiancé is telling you to get lost.
00:08:16So why don't you do yourself a goddamn favor and get lost before I fucking-
00:08:20What?
00:08:28You broke it.
00:08:29You broke my petite.
00:08:30You know how much this cost, you fucking asshole?
00:08:32A hundred thousand dollars!
00:08:37You've lost your balance.
00:08:38Maybe work on your core street.
00:08:40Julian, that is enough.
00:08:42Disrupting proceedings?
00:08:43Assault?
00:08:44Destruction of property?
00:08:46As CEO of Harper Enterprise, I'm terminating your employment.
00:08:49Effective immediately.
00:08:51Now gather your things and leave the premises.
00:08:53Serena, you broke my watch.
00:08:54The gift you got me for my birthday.
00:08:56He has to pay for it.
00:08:57Okay, you got two options, asshole.
00:08:59Either pay up, or I swear you're gonna rot in jail.
00:09:05Fine.
00:09:07Okay.
00:09:09Is it a hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:10What, one hundred thousand dollars?
00:09:11It's a million.
00:09:13A million for that.
00:09:14It's a gift from Serena.
00:09:15It's priceless.
00:09:17A million dollars being generous.
00:09:18You could fucking ask anyone in this room, huh?
00:09:20A CEO's gift does carry sentimental value.
00:09:23He does have a point card.
00:09:24You break it, you buy it.
00:09:26That's the rule.
00:09:27Though on your salary, it might take a few lifetimes.
00:09:35Well, you gonna wire me the money?
00:09:38Or are you as broke as you look?
00:09:40And if so, you can crawl out of here,
00:09:42and I'll knock a few grand off the total for you.
00:09:46So what if you're Serena's fiancé?
00:09:49Look at her now.
00:09:50She won't lift a finger for you, useless coward.
00:09:54A million dollars.
00:09:55That's the final offer?
00:09:57What do you mean?
00:10:02Hi, I need a million dollars brought to the main conference room at Harper headquarters.
00:10:22You just called for a million dollars in cash, like a stakeout?
00:10:27What's next? A private army?
00:10:29All right, Julian, the charade ends now.
00:10:31Leave the company and you won't have to pay for the watch.
00:10:33But our family's engagement is over.
00:10:37We are done.
00:10:39You sure?
00:10:40Whoa, whoa, you heard that, Julian?
00:10:42Your engagement's over.
00:10:43Now get out before I throw you-
00:10:44Bro, get your hands off me!
00:10:49Put your fucking hands on me.
00:10:51You know what?
00:10:52I'm gonna wipe that smug-
00:10:53FUCKING LOOK OFF YOUR FACE!
00:10:58Enough!
00:11:03Mr. Brooks.
00:11:07That's David Brooks.
00:11:08President of Harvey View Bank.
00:11:09What's a Wall Street Titan doing on a company?
00:11:12Do you think it has to do with the hundred million loan?
00:11:13It can't be.
00:11:14That amount isn't worth Mr. Brooks' personal involvement.
00:11:19Mr. Clark.
00:11:20The one million.
00:11:22As requested.
00:11:42What-
00:11:46Mr Brooks.
00:11:47Personally delivering cash.
00:11:49To Julian?
00:11:50Wait, the-the money is-it's real?
00:11:52Wait-uh, uh.
00:11:54Delivered by Mr. Brooks? I mean, wait, who are you?
00:12:00Much appreciated. You can just leave it on the table.
00:12:09Mr. Brooks, sir, we are so honored by your visit.
00:12:14My grandfather, he speaks of you often.
00:12:16I'm sure he'd love to get a round of golf scheduled with you sometime.
00:12:20Mr. Clark, is there anything else you require?
00:12:24My resources are available at your disposal.
00:12:26No, thank you.
00:12:27You can go down. Of course.
00:12:36A company where executives throw chairs during a meeting? Unprofessional.
00:12:42I'm suspending the $100 million deal.
00:12:44We'll reassess when there's adult supervision.
00:12:47Yes, sir.
00:12:49Mr. Brooks, I...
00:12:53Damien messed up such a huge loan.
00:12:55Let's see him explain this to the chairman.
00:12:56The chairman will have his head.
00:12:59This is all your fault, all right?
00:13:01You gotta fix this.
00:13:02You call him back here and get that loan reinstated or I swear I'm gonna...
00:13:04You're the one that pissed off Mr. Brooks, not me.

00:36:10I told you I'm not drunk.
00:36:13All right.
00:36:13This one should come off.
00:36:38Miss Lawson, Amber Group's distinguished CEO, allow me the pleasure of introducing myself.
00:36:46Oh!
00:36:47I am so sorry.
00:36:47Bad, bad timing.
00:36:48Truly terrible timing.
00:36:58Don't move.
00:37:00If that jacket slips for you in a second, you're finished.
00:37:03Okay, aren't you worried about tomorrow's headlines?
00:37:05Amber Group's CEO got caught in a scandal at a pool party?
00:37:09Remember, Mom boasts more confidence and visibility, but I'm not letting the pictures of my breast
00:37:14go through.
00:37:14Okay.
00:37:15Okay.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:19But if you stay through to me like this for the rest of the night, I think my heart's
00:37:27going to skip on this chest.
00:37:41And suffer.
00:38:10her.
00:38:18You know, this is a private party for Amber Group's CEO.
00:38:21You know what I lost?
00:38:23Not exactly the kind of place where anybody could just wander into.
00:38:26Oh, wait.
00:38:30Yes.
00:38:30Well, well.
00:38:31I mean, your engagement ends and you move on in record time.
00:38:35Feelings for Serena weren't that deep after all.
00:38:39Can I help you with something?
00:38:40No.
00:38:41Seriously?
00:38:42This woman's even better than Serena.
00:38:44How does a loser like Julian always get women?
00:38:47I guess your taste hasn't improved.
00:38:49Whatever bargain bin date you dragged here, she's nothing compared to Serena.
00:38:55Whoring herself out like this?
00:38:58It's me vaulting her.
00:38:59Is that so?
00:39:01Now I hear your company's looking to bid on Amber Group's Christmas project.
00:39:09What, you're bidding too?
00:39:10Yeah, I know you got connection and that's great, you know.
00:39:12But you're still a useless fucking piece of trash.
00:39:15Me?
00:39:15I got real talent, alright?
00:39:17And I'm going to win Crescent Lake for Serena.
00:39:19You?
00:39:19You're just going to fucking lose like you lose everything else.
00:39:24Good luck.
00:39:36See that?
00:39:37That is a shameless whore.
00:39:40That woman seems familiar.
00:39:42I mean, I don't even know anyone that cheap.
00:39:45Alright, come on.
00:39:46Let's enjoy the rest of the party.
00:39:48Let's go socialize and maybe we'll run into the host of the party lost on herself.
00:39:53And if we do, I'll make sure we're going to go to brush.
00:40:13So that pretty boy Damien actually said that I'm nowhere near Serena.
00:40:19Tonight we're going to see who's really on top.
00:40:21Okay.
00:40:22Manners, this is a public event.
00:40:24What?
00:40:26You've known me since we were kids.
00:40:28Why would I pretend around you?
00:40:30But if you like Lassie, I can do.
00:40:34Oh, can you?
00:40:36You can do class?
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:37Miss Lawson, it's an honor to see you here today.
00:40:45I'll let you get to it.
00:40:50Shall we?
00:41:07Julia.
00:41:11I'm surprised you showed up.
00:41:13You really love to humiliate yourself, huh?
00:41:16You know what?
00:41:18Mason Brooks, Amber Group's Deputy VP of Projects, already agreed to award the contract to Harper
00:41:24Enterprise.
00:41:26You can't win.
00:41:31I hear the Crescent Lake Project is basically yours.
00:41:33Congratulations.
00:41:35Serena, you are the business queen of Wall Street.
00:41:38And with Damien backing you up, it's unstoppable.
00:41:40When the two of you take off, don't forget the little guys like us.
00:41:43Of course.
00:41:44You know, we're going to take care of you guys.
00:41:46Thank you so much.
00:41:54See that, Julian?
00:41:56Everybody already knows that Crescent Lake belongs to Harper Enterprise.
00:41:59I suggest you walk out of here before you keep embarrassing yourself.
00:42:02It's funny.
00:42:03You see, my Clark Group has deeper capital, better tech, and a stronger global record than
00:42:08Harper Enterprise, so I'm just curious, why would Mason Brooks go with you guys?
00:42:13He recognizes Damien's talent, of course.
00:42:20I need to take this.
00:42:28Don't mind, Julian.
00:42:31What century are you living in?
00:42:33Hmm?
00:42:34You really think that capital and technology wins contracts anymore?
00:42:38Then what does?
00:42:39Aren't you really that fucking stupid?
00:42:41Of course this.
00:42:44I paid Mason Brooks one million in crypto.
00:42:47What do you have that's going to be that?
00:42:51You paid Mason Brooks?
00:42:53That's impossible.
00:42:54He wouldn't dare.
00:42:55That's impossible.
00:42:56He wouldn't dare.
00:42:58Yeah, you want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart.
00:43:01But hey, you're a very lovely, beautiful escort.
00:43:05Why don't you do us all a favor, get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll
00:43:08show.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:09I'm going to tell you.
00:43:11You want to know why I keep winning Amber Group deals?
00:43:15Because every time I give Mason Brooks a nice little fortune.
00:43:20What?
00:43:20What?
00:43:20Capital technology.
00:43:23It's useless.
00:43:25It's fucking trash!
00:43:27Mason Brooks, you've got a lot on there.
00:43:30He's finished.
00:43:32Mr. Brooks is finished.
00:43:34Who the fuck is this?
00:43:36Who are you?
00:43:36You...
00:43:37What do you think?
00:43:37You're the Amber Group CEO or something?
00:43:40Who gave you the fucking cuts?
00:43:42It's adorable, no?
00:43:43Amber Group's anti-corruption code did.
00:43:47Anti-anti-anti-corruption?
00:44:01What are you going to report, Mr. Brooks?
00:44:06You hit me.
00:44:08You think you put your fucking hands on me?
00:44:11I'm going to have Mason Brooks crush you with one phone call.
00:44:16There he is. Mr. Brooks is here.
00:44:18You're finished.
00:44:21Mr. Brooks.
00:44:22They need me, my friend.
00:44:24There's a woman here.
00:44:25She says she's going to report to you.
00:44:26Come on, please, teach her a lesson.
00:44:27Oh, report me?
00:44:29Which idiot has the nerve?
00:44:31This woman right here.
00:44:35Miss Lawson?
00:44:36She's even reported the anti-corruption code.
00:44:38Like she's somebody.
00:44:39Like, how fucking ridiculous.
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:45This can't be...
00:44:49Go ahead.
00:44:50Laugh.
00:44:50Laugh some more.
00:44:51Are you insane, Damien?
00:44:53You'll say anything out loud.
00:44:55Mr. Brooks, what do you mean?
00:44:56She's just a gold-taking whore.
00:44:57I mean, even if she rats you out, who's going to believe this?
00:45:00Oh!
00:45:01Why are you hitting me?
00:45:02Shut your fucking mouth.
00:45:04When did I ever take your money?
00:45:06I never took one cent.
00:45:08Say it again, and I'll bury you.
00:45:11Idiot.
00:45:11Mr. Brooks, what are you doing?
00:45:14This Lawson, this Damien, he's a lunatic.
00:45:18He's making things up.
00:45:19Don't listen to him.
00:45:20I swear, I never took one dollar from him.
00:45:23Not once.
00:45:26Miss Lawson?
00:45:29No, no, no, wait.
00:45:31You're Nora Lawson?
00:45:32Amber's group CEO?
00:45:34How is that possible?
00:45:35How is that fucking...
00:45:36Mr. Brooks!
00:45:37Hello, I am Serena Harper.
00:45:39Thank you so much for awarding the Crescent Lake Project to Harper Enterprise.
00:45:43We promise we won't let you down.
00:45:47Stop!
00:45:48Shut the fuck up!
00:45:49When did I ever give you anything?
00:45:53Miss Lawson?
00:45:54These Harper Enterprise people, they're all out of their minds.
00:45:58They lie like the wind.
00:46:00I can't believe a word they say.
00:46:03Miss Lawson?
00:46:05Miss Lawson?
00:46:07She's Nora Lawson?
00:46:11The Crescent Lake Project?
00:46:13Harper Enterprise is out.
00:46:16You can leave now.
00:46:19Miss Lawson, I am so sorry.
00:46:22Damien didn't know who you were, so he thought that you and Julian were being inappropriate.
00:46:29I'll make him apologize right now.
00:46:32He is blunt, yes.
00:46:34But his ability is exceptional.
00:46:38Please, give Harper Enterprise the contract and I promise we will deliver results that satisfy you.
00:46:45Exceptional ability?
00:46:46Are you sure about that?
00:46:48Of course.
00:46:50If not, why would Mason Brooks have handed him so many contracts before?
00:46:55You're about to find out.
00:47:02Damien?
00:47:04What does she mean?
00:47:06Oh, shit.
00:47:07I can't let her find out I secured every project right.
00:47:10She's upset because I mistook her for a whore.
00:47:12So she wants revenge.
00:47:15So she's going to embarrass Harper Enterprise in front of everyone.
00:47:17So what we need to do is we need to get out of here now.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:19Go?
00:47:21If we don't win Crescent Lake, Harper Enterprise is finished.
00:47:25Even if Miss Lawson is trying to punish us, we still have to earn her forgiveness.
00:47:29Serena, please!
00:47:30Okay?
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:32Here we go now.
00:47:33All right?
00:47:33I'll get you bigger projects, the biggest ones.
00:47:35But we need to go now.
00:47:36Come on.
00:47:37What is wrong with you today?
00:47:39Are you hiding something from me?
00:47:53You want to understand the rules up top there, sweetheart?
00:47:57Technology capital.
00:47:59Useless fucking trash.
00:48:01What?
00:48:02Shit!
00:48:03She actually recorded it?
00:48:04And escorted.
00:48:06So why don't you do us all a nice little favor?
00:48:07But get up on that stage and give us a nice little poll show.
00:48:13Who is that?
00:48:14He bribed Mason Brooks for contracts?
00:48:17That's Damian Blackwell, Harper Enterprise's executive assistant.
00:48:21How do you not know him?
00:48:22All of the best Amber projects being sent to Harper Enterprise over the past six months.
00:48:26And now we know they were bought.
00:48:31That's not true.
00:48:32All of that's a lie.
00:48:33Just don't believe it.
00:48:34Just turn it up.
00:48:35Turn it up right now!
00:48:36Stop him!
00:48:38Let go of me!
00:48:41Damian, you did this behind my back?
00:48:43This is your talent?
00:48:45Your ability?
00:48:46Yes, you're mean, please just see us.
00:48:48Mr. Brooks' suspension.
00:48:50What a fucking routine.
00:48:51Listen, Miss Amy.
00:48:52Who are you to say anything?
00:48:53What do you think?
00:48:54You're Amber Group CEO?
00:48:56Amber Group.
00:48:58Turn it off, please.
00:48:59Okay?
00:49:00Okay.
00:49:00Miss Lawson, please just turn it off.
00:49:02Just please stop it!
00:49:03Please!
00:49:04Please!
00:49:05Bribery is one thing, but mistaking Miss Lawson for an escort?
00:49:09A whore?
00:49:11He's fucking blind.
00:49:13The best part?
00:49:14He confessed right in front of her that Mason Brooks took money.
00:49:18Genius!
00:49:18And Serena trusted him to be her assistant?
00:49:21I mean, what does that say about her judgment?
00:49:24Damian, you have disappointed me beyond words.
00:49:27Serena, I did it because I cared about you.
00:49:29Because I care about Harper Enterprise.
00:49:31Please, I'm happy.
00:49:32You told me the truth.
00:49:33Enough.
00:49:35Everyone has seen enough.
00:49:37Mason Brooks, you're fired.
00:49:39Effective immediately.
00:49:41I'm done.
00:49:43The Crescent Lake Project.
00:49:47Harper Enterprise is disqualified.
00:49:49Every single project Amber Group has done together with them will be suspended.
00:49:54The projects will be back for competitive bidding.
00:49:59No, no, you can't do that.
00:50:01Those projects are our next three years.
00:50:03They affect thousands of employees.
00:50:05Their lives are future.
00:50:07And why am the person who hired Trash and called it talent?
00:50:12Real talent.
00:50:19Pathetic.
00:50:25Serena.
00:50:28Please, you gotta let me explain.
00:50:30Miss Lawson, wait.
00:50:32Serena!
00:50:41I just avenged you in front of a lot of people.
00:50:44Asking for dinner isn't too much, right?
00:50:47Not at all.
00:50:48You pick.
00:50:49My treat.
00:50:50Generous.
00:50:51Let's go.
00:50:52Time to rob the tycoon.
00:50:56Miss Lawson, Damien was wrong to bribe anyone.
00:51:01And I apologize on his behalf.
00:51:04Just please, give Harper Enterprise another chance.
00:51:09I will meet the highest standards.
00:51:11I will deliver a perfect result on every project.
00:51:15Perfect result?
00:51:16And what exactly guarantees that?
00:51:18Your empty suit assistant?
00:51:21Miss Lawson, Damien made a mistake.
00:51:26But his ability is exceptional.
00:51:29For six months, he managed every Harper Enterprise project flawlessly.
00:51:33No errors, no delays.
00:51:35If you don't pull this contract, I guarantee he will make sure you see his value.
00:51:50Miss Lawson, you are crossing a line.
00:51:55Miss Lawson, I understand that you and Julian are close and you want to get back at me for him.
00:52:00But humiliating someone like this, isn't that a little cruel?
00:52:04You really think I froze our cooperation because Damien, right, Mason?
00:52:11For six months, Harper Enterprise got everything it wanted from Ember Group.
00:52:18For one reason, Julian Clark.
00:52:22Damien has nothing to do with that.
00:52:26He was just a messenger boy who picked up the contracts.
00:52:29When Julian was there, bribe or no bribe, Harper Enterprise got the deals anyway.
00:52:36But now, Julian's gone, so the special treatment is gone.
00:52:41Damien's little ribbing incident?
00:52:44It was just a convenient excuse to take everything back.
00:52:47Understand now?
00:52:51And about those flawless projects, Harper Enterprise didn't run smoothly because Damien is brilliant.
00:52:59It ran smoothly because Julian called every partner, every supplier, every gatekeeper and cleared the path for you.
00:53:08Damien had nothing to do with that.
00:53:12No.
00:53:14That's not true. I don't believe it.
00:53:17You don't believe me?
00:53:18Then watch.
00:53:20Watch what happens when Julian leaves.
00:53:23Let's see if your exceptional Damien can keep everything perfect when Julian is not there to hold the world together
00:53:30for you.
00:53:32Come on, let's go.
00:53:40Julian, is what she's saying true?
00:53:44You were right about one thing, Serena.
00:53:47Julian and I are closer than you thought.
00:53:49That's why it disgusts me watching him waste his life away on a selfish and blind woman like you.
00:54:00Was I wrong?
00:54:01No, no, no, Serena, Serena. Do not listen to her nonsense.
00:54:04Harper's success is based off of my hard work.
00:54:08Okay, Nora Lawson, she's attacking and slandering my name to defend Julian.
00:54:13You have to believe me. Please, you have to understand.
00:54:15Because of you, Crescent Lake is gone.
00:54:19Every Amber project is gone.
00:54:22Harper Enterprise is on the edge of collapse and you're asking me to trust you?
00:54:26How? Tell me, how?
00:54:29Please, just listen to me.
00:54:31Okay, yeah, we lost Amber group, but we're not finished.
00:54:35I mean, we still have the partners and the CEOs.
00:54:36I mean, they love me.
00:54:37They absolutely love and adore me.
00:54:40I promise.
00:54:41You know what?
00:54:41Matter of fact, I'm going to call and I'm going to get you some new projects right now.
00:54:48Hello, Mr. Foster. It's Damien here.
00:54:50I hear the Grandview Plaza is taking bids and Harper Enterprise, you know, we would absolutely love.
00:54:56Harper Enterprise? Who the hell is that?
00:54:59You think you're even in the same league as Grandview Plaza?
00:55:02Uh, Mr. Foster, what do you mean?
00:55:07Last time we spoke, you said that you believed in the Harper Enterprise and that you would love to work
00:55:12together.
00:55:12Listen up! That's because Julian Clark was in your damn Enterprise.
00:55:17I was giving him respect.
00:55:19You don't flatter yourself, bunch of blind dumbasses.
00:55:23Call me again and I'll block your fucking number.
00:55:26So what really was Julian?
00:55:28No, no, that's impossible. I don't believe that. I don't.
00:55:32Hello, Mr. Parker. It's Damien. I was hoping to talk about future collaborations.
00:55:37Damien? You've got the fucking nerve to call me?
00:55:40I gave Harper Enterprise projects because of Mr. Clark, and then you turned around and claimed you closed the deal?
00:55:47Who gave you the audacity? Shameless trash?
00:55:53Miss Parker.
00:55:56Miss Parker. No. No. God damn it!
00:55:58No, no. I don't believe this.
00:56:00I don't believe this fucking Julian this whole fucking time. God damn it.
00:56:05Sorry, sorry. Um, hello? Mr. Turner, it's Damien.
00:56:10Damien, who do you think you are, huh? Calling me directly? Learn some manners.
00:56:17Julian was polite enough to tolerate you playing sideman with his fiancée. I'm not, you bastard tooie.
00:56:25Mr. Turner? Mr. Turner, please.
00:56:30What the fuck is happening?
00:56:38Miss Harper? This is bad. Our partners are flooding us with messages. They're suspending contracts, pulling out a deal.
00:56:45Wait, what is happening?
00:56:47Just before, they only worked with Harper Enterprise because Julian Clark backed us. Now that he's gone, they don't trust
00:56:53us with their project.
00:56:55Julian.
00:56:56Okay. It's Julian again.
00:57:01It's not. It's true.
00:57:04They only gave us deals because of Julian. Julian!
00:57:09No, no, no, no, no, Samina, please, okay?
00:57:11They're just saying that because Julian has been paying them off. Think about it, okay?
00:57:15But you know what? Just give you some time and I'll get you some new projects. I'll get you some
00:57:19new projects, I swear.
00:57:20Get away from me!
00:57:22You liar! You fraud, Damien!
00:57:25All those CEOs!
00:57:27They only had you pick up contracts from them.
00:57:30And you told me you negotiated the deals.
00:57:33I swear, I didn't know that they would.
00:57:38Get out of my sight.
00:57:41Now!
00:57:59Fuck!
00:58:00Damn it! No! I was this close to locking Serena down, stepping into the upper circle.
00:58:04I'm not letting it end like this.
00:58:11Serena, you really thought you were smart.
00:58:15But you're really just pathetic trash.
00:58:20Without Julian, you're nothing.
00:58:32Dad warned you, Grandpa warned you, and you still wouldn't listen.
00:58:41You, like, learned everything Julian did, and worshipped a con artist like Damien.
00:58:50Stupid.
00:58:59And now, look at you.
00:59:03Projects gone.
00:59:05Company collapsing.
00:59:09Idiot.
00:59:10You arrogant.
00:59:12Stupid.
00:59:13Idiot.
00:59:15So stupid.
00:59:22Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:31Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:32Stop, Serena.
00:59:33Serena, listen up.
00:59:36I know I messed up.
00:59:39Move!
00:59:39I will.
00:59:43Julian, I'm sorry.
00:59:46I know, I know I was wrong.
00:59:49Look.
00:59:50Always damn Julian!
00:59:52Julian.
00:59:55Come back, okay?
00:59:58Please come back.
01:00:03Damn back.
01:00:08You don't have to be scared.
01:00:11Harper Enterprise's business queen is so much better than those cheap girls.
01:00:16Once I lock her down, Harper Enterprise is mine.
01:00:20Oh, Damien!
01:00:22You sick bastard!
01:00:24You sick bastard!
01:00:29You really mean it.
01:00:31I love you.
01:00:32You fucking...
01:00:33I'm telling you the truth!
01:00:35I mean it!
01:00:36Okay?
01:00:36I promise.
01:00:38I'll treat you well.
01:00:42You fucking monster dead!
01:00:44Get off me, please!
01:00:46I'm begging you, don't!
01:00:48Say yes.
01:00:49What are you doing?
01:00:52Help!
01:00:53Don't!
01:00:54You fucking dead!
01:00:55Ashley, help me!
01:00:57I tried being nice to you.
01:00:59I fucking tried!
01:01:00But you keep fighting me back!
01:01:03Keep screaming, huh?
01:01:04Keep fucking screaming!
01:01:06Right?
01:01:08You're not going to say no.
01:01:10I'm going to fuck you.
01:01:11No!
01:01:12Help!
01:01:14Help!
01:01:15Julian!
01:01:16Julian!
01:01:17Help!
01:01:18Oh!
01:01:20Get him out of here!
01:01:22Stop!
01:01:22Let me go!
01:01:24Julian, you know it's one of the fucking plans.
01:01:26This is an honor.
01:01:30Oh!
01:01:32Julian!
01:01:33Thank God you came and you had like...
01:01:35We are not that close.
01:01:39I was just passing through.
01:01:40I heard some screaming, so I stopped by to check.
01:01:43You.
01:01:44I want you to call the Harper family.
01:01:46Tell them to come to Corral.
01:01:47Yes, sir.
01:01:50Julian!
01:01:51I am sorry.
01:01:53I know.
01:01:54I was wrong.
01:01:56Just...
01:01:57Please come back.
01:01:59Julian!
01:02:00Our reservation is in 10 minutes.
01:02:02Let's go.
01:02:10Serena, I told you over and over and over again that Damien was not a good man and you refused
01:02:22to listen.
01:02:25And Julian, if Julian doesn't come along, just at the right time.
01:02:29Oh my God.
01:02:31I can't even...
01:02:32I can't even think about it.
01:02:34If you don't do something about that stubborn pride of yours, one day, you live to regret it.
01:02:40Dad, Grandpa, please stop.
01:02:42I know I was wrong, okay?
01:02:45I'll...
01:02:46I'll apologize to Julian and I will follow through with the engagement.
01:02:54The problem with that is that you may feel that way, but Julian might not.
01:03:00Grandpa, don't worry.
01:03:03I will apologize properly and I will earn his forgiveness.
01:03:09That's all we can do.
01:03:12So, John, put out a citywide bolo on that bastard Damien.
01:03:19He put his hands on my granddaughter.
01:03:22We're not letting that go.
01:03:24No, we're not.
01:03:26Understood.
01:03:58Oh, my dear Miss Lawson.
01:04:05What is this supposed to be?
01:04:06A gift for you?
01:04:09Myself?
01:04:11I'll give you 30% equity.
01:04:13Every group backs you up.
01:04:15No questions asked.
01:04:17But first, you have to accept the gift.
01:04:21Oh, really.
01:04:31Hey, can you not do that?
01:04:34You're making this incredibly awkward.
01:04:37You know a woman like me shows up a gift wrapped and any man would have, you know,
01:04:43comes to me by now.
01:04:45Don't tell me you're still hung up on Serena.
01:04:49Hung up?
01:04:51No, I'm going to be hung up on Serena.
01:04:52She and I were never romantic.
01:04:55No, it's just a business marriage between two families.
01:04:59Things are moving too fast.
01:05:01You gotta look at them twice.
01:05:03But I don't have time.
01:05:05My family is preparing to send me off into a European alliance.
01:05:10Some old money.
01:05:12Perfect match they can show off at Gallus.
01:05:15Wait, what are you talking about?
01:05:16Are you serious?
01:05:17Yes, Julian.
01:05:18Julian, my uncle is thirsty for my family's fortune and he'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me
01:05:24permanently.
01:05:25But I don't want a stranger.
01:05:26I want you.
01:05:27I love you.
01:05:30Julian, let's make it official.
01:05:34Let's get married.
01:05:37You know, if you'll marry me, my family won't dare object.
01:05:44Please, Julian.
01:05:55Okay.
01:05:58I'll marry you.
01:05:59Are you serious?
01:06:01No takebacks.
01:06:02No takebacks.
01:06:03Ever.
01:06:04Ever.
01:06:04I knew you wouldn't abandon me.
01:06:07But can you help me out?
01:06:11Um, my hands are getting wet.
01:06:14So impatient.
01:06:19It's like you said.
01:06:21If I accept the gift, then our engagement becomes official.
01:06:31Then be gentle.
01:06:40Julian, you didn't forget what you promised last night, right?
01:06:45Uh, no.
01:06:46Because I actually wasn't drunk.
01:06:48Of course I remember that.
01:06:50You know, when someone wraps themselves as a gift,
01:06:53you kind of remember that for the rest of your life.
01:06:55Details!
01:06:57Those are just tiny details.
01:07:01Look like big details to me.
01:07:05Julian.
01:07:08Can I talk to you alone for a second?
01:07:11Serena, I really don't think there's anything we need to discuss.
01:07:13Julian, I was wrong.
01:07:14I never should have trusted Damien.
01:07:16I misjudged everything.
01:07:18Please, just give me one more chance and I'll honor the engagement.
01:07:23And if you take me back, just tell me what you want.
01:07:25I'll do anything.
01:07:26I'm sorry, I'm Nora's boyfriend now.
01:07:32Boyfriend?
01:07:38Serena, you once said you hate arranged marriages.
01:07:42Well, Julian hates them too.
01:07:44And yet you stayed at Harper Enterprise for six full months.
01:07:48He asked you out 37 times.
01:07:51So tell me, what exactly are you proud of?
01:07:54Hmm?
01:07:56Men like him?
01:07:58If you treat him like trash, someone else will treat him like treasure.
01:08:03Listen carefully.
01:08:04We are together now, so better keep your distance.
01:08:07If you don't, I won't be so nice about it.
01:08:13Come on.
01:08:14We're trying on our wedding outfits tonight.
01:08:17Let's not be late.
01:08:18Wedding outfits.
01:08:22Let's go.
01:08:27Let's go.
01:08:36So how did it go?
01:08:38Julian?
01:08:39He's with Nora.
01:08:45Nora.
01:08:46Nora Lawson.
01:08:48CEO of Amber Group.
01:08:50Of course.
01:08:51You know, Serena, it's an elite like Julian.
01:08:54The second you let go, somebody comes and grabs him.
01:08:59You don't get another chance.
01:09:01God gave our family a chance.
01:09:03And we blew it.
01:09:06God, forgive the Harpers.
01:09:08Please.
01:09:11Miss Harper, Finance sent the latest reports.
01:09:14Harper Enterprise's cash flow has collapsed.
01:09:17If we don't act immediately, we won't even have enough to make payroll this month.
01:09:23Great.
01:09:24Now all of Wall Street knows that we crossed Julian.
01:09:28That was going to lend to us now.
01:09:30How are we supposed to get financing?
01:09:32This is my fault.
01:09:33Okay?
01:09:34I was blind.
01:09:35Are you proud now?
01:09:38I actually believed I was some business queen.
01:09:42I didn't realize that Julian was running everything.
01:09:46And the moment he's gone, I can't do anything.
01:09:52Grandpa, I'm so sorry.
01:09:54I ruined Harper Enterprise.
01:09:57I ruined everything.
01:09:58Dad, you're the one who arranged the engagement with Julian's grandfather, right?
01:10:04So maybe you should go talk to him and see if he'll give us a second chance.
01:10:09Yes, Grandpa.
01:10:11Julian listens to his grandfather.
01:10:13If we can get his acceptance and...
01:10:16Clark family isn't what it used to be.
01:10:19Yes, they honored our engagement.
01:10:24And that was a mercy.
01:10:25That was a blessing.
01:10:27But you threw it away.
01:10:32Still, for your sake and for your future, and for our future, we'll fight.
01:10:45Serena, when you see Julian's grandfather, your apology has to be sincere.
01:10:54If he forgives you, only then will you know that you have a chance to get Julian back.
01:11:01Understood, Grandpa.
01:11:03For the Harper family, I'll do whatever it takes.
01:11:21Welcome!
01:11:23You must be here for Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson's engagement party.
01:11:27Perfect timing.
01:11:28They're just about to start.
01:11:31Engagement party?
01:11:32So they're really engaged?
01:11:35Wait, how is this all happening so fast?
01:11:39What is this supposed to mean?
01:11:41Mr. Clark and Ms. Lawson have known each other since they were born,
01:11:45and everyone is so happy that they're finally getting married.
01:11:48Oh, oh, I see.
01:11:50You didn't come here to congratulate them, right?
01:11:54Then please leave.
01:11:57Otherwise, I will have to call security.
01:11:59Oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:12:04If there's an engagement party,
01:12:07that means Julian's grandfather has already approved of an engagement.
01:12:12And that means we're done.
01:12:16There's no more chances left.
01:12:18We're leaving.
01:12:20Is this my punishment?
01:12:23All right, everyone.
01:12:25Big smiles.
01:12:29Woo!
01:12:36Sure, sure, sure.
01:12:38Yeah.
01:12:40What?
01:12:42Julian, are you okay?
01:12:45Hey.
01:12:51What is it?
01:12:53Oh, it's nothing.
01:12:54Come on, dinner's almost ready.
01:13:09Dad?
01:13:10The Harpers?
01:13:12My grandson grew up with everything.
01:13:17For him,
01:13:19at six months at Harper Enterprise,
01:13:21it was a total humiliation.
01:13:25We've shown the Harpers more mercy than he ever deserved.
01:13:30Understood, Dad.
01:13:39Okay, enough, Serena.
01:13:41Stop.
01:13:41You can't drink this away.
01:13:44Harper Enterprise is hanging on by a thread.
01:13:47If you don't get up, it's over.
01:13:50Just leave me the fuck alone.
01:13:52Okay?
01:13:53Just let me drink.
01:13:54I'm the fucking idiot who ruined everything.
01:13:56I wrecked Harper Enterprise.
01:13:58No, you...
01:14:01All right, I've got to take this.
01:14:03Don't move.
01:14:04I'll be right back,
01:14:05and then I am taking you home.
01:14:16Mora.
01:14:19Okay, Mora.
01:14:21Be honest.
01:14:22You're moving insanely fast.
01:14:24You just got engaged,
01:14:26and you're getting married next week?
01:14:29Let's see.
01:14:30You've known Julian for 20-plus years.
01:14:33You couldn't wait a couple more months?
01:14:35I've liked Julian for 20 years,
01:14:37and I finally got him to say yes.
01:14:39You think I'm not going to lock it down now?
01:14:41Lock it down from what?
01:14:42From Harper Enterprise, of course.
01:14:44They're collapsing,
01:14:46and treating Julian like a lifeboat.
01:14:49I have to move fast.
01:14:51If they start begging,
01:14:54what if Julian hesitates?
01:14:56But Julian and Serena were forced into that.
01:14:59There's no real love.
01:15:01Why will Julian hesitate?
01:15:02What are you afraid of?
01:15:04You don't get it.
01:15:06Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months,
01:15:09and it wasn't just because his grandfather ordered it.
01:15:12Then why?
01:15:15Because Serena is his type.
01:15:19Wait, what?
01:15:22I am Julian's type?
01:15:26No way!
01:15:28I'm serious.
01:15:29The girls Julian liked growing up?
01:15:32That exact time.
01:15:34I mean, with his personality,
01:15:37even if his grandfather forced him,
01:15:39he would have stayed there for three days max,
01:15:41and then vanished.
01:15:42He would not stay there
01:15:44and take six months of humiliation
01:15:46if he didn't want it to.
01:15:48That's Julian Clark.
01:15:50So that's why?
01:15:52Serena must have destroyed him.
01:15:54I have to get married, fast.
01:15:56I cannot give her a single chance.
01:15:59So that's what it was.
01:16:01Julian stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:16:03because I'm his type.
01:16:05He likes me.
01:16:06That means I still have a chance.
01:16:09I still have a chance.
01:16:11This is my last shot.
01:16:12I am not wasting it.
01:16:21Where is she?
01:16:27Ladies and gentlemen,
01:16:29let's welcome the beautiful bride.
01:16:44Wow.
01:16:45They look perfect together.
01:16:47They're childhood sweethearts.
01:16:49The whole fantasy.
01:16:50Oh my God, brilliant.
01:16:53And now for the exchange of rings.
01:17:08Wait!
01:17:14Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:18Who is that?
01:17:20Is that Serena Harper?
01:17:21CEO of Harper Enterprise?
01:17:23You mean the woman who rode on Julian's back to the IPO
01:17:26and then kicked him out like he was nothing?
01:17:28Without Julian, Harper Enterprise is basically bankrupt.
01:17:32Pathetic.
01:17:33Wait!
01:17:34Serena, what are you doing here?
01:17:40Julian, I know you like me.
01:17:42You wouldn't have stayed at Harper Enterprise for six months
01:17:45humiliated if you didn't.
01:17:51I know.
01:17:52I was wrong.
01:17:53Totally wrong, okay?
01:17:55Just please.
01:17:56Give me another chance.
01:18:00Our engagement is over.
01:18:03In fact, you were the one that called it off.
01:18:06Look, this is my wedding.
01:18:08Have some dignity.
01:18:09In fact, can we get her out of here, please?
01:18:10No, please.
01:18:12I'll do anything.
01:18:14Just...
01:18:18I know you hate me because I rejected you 37 times,
01:18:24but I'll make it up to you.
01:18:27I'll chase you 37 times, 370 times, whatever it did.
01:18:32Can we please get her out?
01:18:33No, don't touch me!
01:18:35Julian, what do you want from me?
01:18:37I know you like me, so...
01:18:39So why won't you give me another chance?
01:18:41Why?
01:18:46Simple question.
01:18:48Do you love me?
01:18:52I...
01:18:52Exactly.
01:18:53You don't.
01:18:54You didn't realize you made a mistake.
01:18:56You realized that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:18:59See, what you want is not a chance, but a tool.
01:19:03You want me back so you can be Wall Street's business queen again, huh?
01:19:08No, that...
01:19:10That's not true.
01:19:12Just please.
01:19:14Listen.
01:19:14Please, listen.
01:19:15Enough.
01:19:15Serena.
01:19:17When you threw me out of Harper Enterprise,
01:19:18do you remember how cold and arrogant you were?
01:19:21Let me ask you this.
01:19:23If Harper Enterprise had not collapsed,
01:19:25if your value kept climbing,
01:19:27would you still be here standing in front of me today?
01:19:32I...
01:19:32No, I...
01:19:34No, you wouldn't.
01:19:34You absolutely wouldn't.
01:19:35You'd be celebrating.
01:19:37You'd say that you earned the business queen a crown.
01:19:40You'd be mocking me, calling me pathetic.
01:19:42You'd say that firing me was the best decision you ever made.
01:19:45Plus, you'd still be with that asshole Damien.
01:19:47No.
01:19:49No, Juliana.
01:19:51That's not me.
01:19:52Just admit it, Serena.
01:19:55You don't feel anything for me.
01:19:56But on my wedding day,
01:19:58you show up like some tragic devoted lover.
01:20:00Why?
01:20:00Because you want me back as your lifeline.
01:20:03Your donor.
01:20:04Your goddamn blood supply.
01:20:06But the moment I stop being useful,
01:20:08you will kick me away again without a moment's hesitation.
01:20:11No.
01:20:13No, Juliana.
01:20:15That is not true.
01:20:16For the night that you saved me from Damien,
01:20:20I...
01:20:21I felt something for you.
01:20:23I did.
01:20:24Stop.
01:20:25Do not perform at my wedding.
01:20:27You don't regret hurting me.
01:20:29You regret choosing the wrong man.
01:20:31You regret that Harper Enterprise is dying.
01:20:34You know, I'll admit,
01:20:35when I met you,
01:20:37you were exactly my type.
01:20:39But once I got to know you,
01:20:41once I realized what you really are,
01:20:43all I felt was disgust.
01:20:47But Nora?
01:20:50She has cared for me
01:20:51since we were kids.
01:20:55When I was sick,
01:20:56she stayed up all night taking care of me.
01:21:00When I was at my lowest,
01:21:01she pulled me back up.
01:21:03Even when I went back to Harper Enterprise
01:21:05on the engagement,
01:21:07she still supported me.
01:21:09She still took hits from me.
01:21:13So,
01:21:14let me ask you.
01:21:17Why would I give up all that
01:21:18for you?
01:21:21What makes you think you deserve that?
01:21:28Get her out.
01:21:29No, no.
01:21:30No, please don't, Juliana.
01:21:31Don't, don't.
01:21:33I'm begging you.
01:21:34Just please let me explain.
01:21:36Please.
01:21:37Please, let me, please stop.
01:21:38Let me go.
01:21:39Juliana, please don't do it.
01:21:41Crashing a wedding like that?
01:21:43I thought she actually loved him.
01:21:44Turns out,
01:21:45she just realized without Julian,
01:21:47she can't stay on top.
01:21:49She used Julian's feelings like a weapon.
01:21:51Totally vampire drained him dry.
01:22:23Mr. Clark!
01:22:41I'm sure you've all heard.
01:22:44Harper Enterprise, effective today, has become a Clark Group subsidiary.
01:22:48So, we're all being terminated.
01:22:51What?
01:22:53Mr. Clark, that's too much.
01:22:55I've given this company 15 years.
01:22:58You can't just walk in and fire everyone.
01:23:0015 years, wow.
01:23:01Congratulations.
01:23:03You've had 15 years to make this company clean, and instead you've turned it into a suit.
01:23:09You know, I've been watching you guys for about six months now.
01:23:12I've seen how you all work.
01:23:15I've seen you guys for a while.
01:23:15Bribes, embezzlement, kickbacks, fraud.
01:23:23Everyone beat us a mile.
01:23:25So, we're going to be passing out some resignation terms.
01:23:29And once you sign them, hand over your badges, or you're going to rob you.
01:23:35This, this is it.
01:23:52Are you satisfied, Mal?
01:23:54Satisfied?
01:23:56Amos went to my grandfather.
01:23:58He begged him to acquire Harper Enterprise so that your family could cash out.
01:24:03I saved you.
01:24:06Julian.
01:24:09If I didn't treat you the way I did, would any of this be different?
01:24:23Julian, why don't you throw in the way and still land something better?
01:24:26I spent my whole life climbing upwards, and now I'm stuck at the bottom.
01:24:29Hunted by cops.
01:24:30I won't accept it.
01:24:32Julian, watch out!
01:24:34Julian, watch out!
01:24:39Let me go!
01:24:40Fucking let me go!
01:24:41I already spared you.
01:24:42You didn't learn at all, did you?
01:24:44Yo, take him to the police.
01:24:46Get the best of all your money can buy.
01:24:47I want him to rot in jail.
01:24:48Fuck the coward.
01:24:49You're a fucking coward!
01:24:50Hiding behind your goddamn family's money.
01:24:52No, no, fight me.
01:24:53101!
01:24:54101!
01:24:54Let the guards go!
01:24:55You don't have the fucking guts, do you?
01:25:01Hey, Julian.
01:25:03What was that?
01:25:03Just taking out the trash.
01:25:07Are you done here?
01:25:09No.
01:25:11Let's go.
01:25:18I was wrong!
01:25:20Julian, I was wrong!
01:25:22No!
01:25:23Oh!
01:25:23Oh, God!
01:25:24Oh, God!
01:25:24You're taking out a comedy here.
01:25:26I've got to go!
01:25:26Oh, God!
